I have Track Gain on. But I tried to switch it off and the deffect
remains.

It's random.

Hi Michael - Everything is good.  As per my earlier posting I ended up
removing and reinstating the Deezer account within the mySqueezebox
environment as you also noted.  A little awkward, but now I know.

I really appreciate the support I have received from you and others on
various questions over the years about the LMS environment and usage /
configuration ossies.


If I may, a completely different question.  I have a subscription to the
Berlin Philharmonic Digital Concert Hall (digitalconcerthall.com), and
it would be nice to be able to browse / play concerts from this source
through the LMS environment.  I guess similar to the YouTube plugin
which allows searching for videos and streaming the audio portion
through the LMS system.  I have searched the forums for
digitalconcerthall and got only a single match - in the forum topic
"Announcement - ickStream open beta release on Squeezebox !".  Do you
know if anyone is working on a plugin to connect LMS to the Digital
Concert Hall?

Many thanks,
Stephen

Do you have replaygain switched on, and if so is it set to track gain?
A sudden change in replaygain setting on track transition could cause a
"tick".

Re: [slim] MB Vs MiB

2022-03-13 Thread sodface


This is an interesting and timely thread, having just worked on a
directory index script which includes file sizes:

http://www.sodface.com/repo/

It's the classic directory index style, also used by the Alpine mirrors:
https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/

I didn't like that stat returned bytes and started looking at converting
it to something more human readable. An interesting discussion here:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/44040/a-standard-tool-to-convert-a-byte-count-into-human-kib-mib-etc-like-du-ls1

I'm going to leave it at bytes for now just to keep things simple. I
doubt I'll get any complaints.

[slim] Pandora app no longer shows on home page

2022-03-13 Thread mnvelocitypilot


OK, so I'm sure this is going to be a dumb question, but, 

I've Lost Pandora!  It no longer shows up in my home page, apps library,
anywhere!  What the heck!

It used to work just fine!  And I miss it!  I don't know of anything
I've changed (I do have my plugins set to automatically update).  

Some more details:  I'm running a network of three RPi players, each
running Max2Play v1.0.2 based on v1.8.4-726, and Logitech Media Server
Version: 8.2.0 - 1627922070.  The Pandora plugin (V3.0) is installed,
and I've uninstalled/reinstalled it.  

I've confirmed that I'm logged into Pandora, and that all of my players
are set to enabled, and they're all set to "display on home menu".

That said, I could not find a plug-in settings link (either on the LMS
"Server Settings" screen Plugins tab or on the Advanced tab), where I
could easily update the password.  In order to make the password update


On MySB you should be able to remove the account from the service's 
settings page, and re-authenticate.

2022-03-13 Thread svetter


Hi Michael - Thank you for pointing this out.  I had done a general
review / regeneration of passwords a few months ago, and that is when
things must have gotten out of sync.  I had subsequently updated the
password directly on Deezer, but didn't think to update LMS at the same
time.

That said, I could not find a plug-in settings link (either on the LMS
"Server Settings" screen Plugins tab or on the Advanced tab), where I
could easily update the password.  In order to make the password update
I ended up uninstalling the plugin, deleting and recreating my Deezer
plugin credentials on https://www.mysqueezebox.com/user/apps.  Is there
an easier way to do this?

Many thanks! - very happy to have my Deezer functionality back within my
LMS environment.

I have the same problem. The difference is that I have Fedora 34 Server
and the files are flac's and dsf's. It plays the whole albums without
any clicks or pops, but when you choose Random Play that's where this
effect demonstrates itsef. These clicks are very noticable but some
songs seem to not have them at all, very elusive.

I've tried various options of crossfade - no result. Checked if I had
the same deffect with Roon - Roon doesn't seem to have the same deffect.
Must be some kind of flaw with gapless feature. Looks like random play
use some other gapless option. It's very annoying once you noticed
that.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Re: [slim] Comparisons between current (2022) streaming service integrations?

2022-03-13 Thread Michael Herger

however, in the last ?half-year? Deezer have dumbed down the plugin, so
that the plugin only plays "smart radio" channels.


If you only see smart radios then you either don't have a premium (paid) 
subscription, or your Deezer credentials on mysqueezebox.com are invalid.
